chapter 28
You have no face?
[Director Lee, have you heard about Jaehee lately?]
[Jaehee? Didn’t a drama come out?]
Lee Young-chang watched <All About First Love>, which aired right before the Cannes Awards. Although it was short, Yoon Je-hee was perfect, befitting the genius he discovered.
It is said that he received a lot of love from the director and writer even when he was filming the drama.
I heard how such a young child managed to play a perfect child role by mixing his habits and tone as if he ate the adult actor Park Shin-woo, and I heard that he would definitely cast him in the next work.
[Not that, the rumors these days are a bit bad.]
[······how?]
[The child must have been under a lot of pressure after winning an award. It’s not like before…]
Actually, I expected that to happen. The youngest, first, and genius that people are crazy about. With that much attention, of course, the shadows will deepen.
[Even though I’m out, it’s still a bit like that, right?]
I thought it was too much authority for someone who was not a parent to step forward. Rather, I was worried that another rumor would be added to the strange rumor.
Besides, Lee Young-chang was also busy. After <Children>, I was putting effort into my next project with the desire to make a better work.
When the work on this piece is almost finished, so when I have time to spare… Then I will keep it by my side and protect it so that I will not get hurt.
[What is Jaehee Yoon doing these days?]
However, they say that Yoon Jae-hee has disappeared.
Lee Young-chang couldn’t believe the rumors, so he decided to find out for himself.
[Let’s see, the business card I received then…]
After searching for Yoon Jae-hee’s house, he slammed the door, which did not change even when he pressed the bell.
[Are you there? Mr. Suheon Yoon!]
[I am Youngchang Lee! Let’s talk for a moment!]
And the door burst open. No one smiled confidently when introducing their son.
There were only people with shaggy beards because of poor management and the smell of alcohol that made people frown.
[······Come on in.]
[No, this is…]
Lee Young-chang said cautiously after finding a messy house with bottles rolling around and divorce papers left on the table.
[Hey, where is Jaehee?]
[doesn’t exist.]
[yes?]
Could it be that something happened to the child? Lee Young-chang waited for him to speak first. Then, tears flowed from Yoon Soo-heon’s eyes.
[Director, I ruined everything. Because I was too greedy.]
I couldn’t just pass by the frustrated Yoon Soo-heon. Yoon Je-hee has already left after being hurt, but if she returns someday, shouldn’t the nest she return to be intact?
Of course, they are too grown up to find nests now. Lee Young-chang glanced at Yoon-jae, who was eating cleanly across the street.
‘You grew up well.’
I’ve seen it a few times, but it’s new. How he grew up, his eyes were deep.
“I’m sure you have a lot of questions about me.”
“okay. I was waiting for you to tell me.”
Yoonjae lowered his upper body and looked at Lee Yeongchang, who was interested in what he was saying.
Hearing from Park Hyeon-ah, he said that he did his best for his father. Thanks to that, he met Park Hyun-ah and was able to start a new family.
‘It’s probably because of me.’
There must have been a lot of questions at the funeral, but he waited until he opened his mouth. Now that it has come to this point, I think it’s okay to open up your inner feelings.
“I heard rumors belatedly that you disappeared like that. I blamed myself for not doing it because of me.”
“There is no need for the director to feel guilty. It was good for me to play <Children>.”
“Okay, how have you been?”
“The rumors are probably more than half true.”
Yunjay calmly condensed the story of what he had experienced in those days.
His tone, which had been a bit stiff, was slightly relaxed. Did I open my heart? Lee Young-chang let out a sad voice at the situation at the time, which was worse than expected.
“Actually, the reason I said at the funeral that I had no intention of acting was because of my phobia of cameras.”
“So, you’re fine now.”
“Thanks to my father.”
His father’s video, which he admitted was his fault, was also influential, but what made him who he is today was largely influenced by his father, who worked hard to overcome his foster son’s phobia.
While saying that, the American family also briefly confided.
“These are good people. I want to see you someday.”
“I will introduce you when I get a chance. How did you see my acting?”
“it was good. I haven’t felt a break in over 20 years.”
It was good… It wasn’t an answer Yoon-Ji was satisfied with.
“Isn’t that the best expression the director can give?”
“That doesn’t mean that your acting is lacking.”
“I know what you mean.”
In <Garden of Evil>, I put on acting that referenced someone, and in <Along>, I overlaid the martial arts army, but looking back, I was not satisfied.
“I think so.”
During <Children>, there was a sense of sparks flying as Park Dong-hwa, not Yoon Jae-hee or Yoon Je-hee who plays Park Dong-hwa.
I could feel even that in the latter half of the filming, and I want to revive that feeling again.
Perhaps director Lee Young-chang would like to say the same thing.
“Then, acting from now on…”
“I want to continue. I wonder how far I can reach as Yoon J rather than Yoon Jae Hee.”
“I guess I’ll keep it a secret.”
“I want to be famous. I think that’s how you will be compensated for that time.”
I ran away because it was hard to bear, but what would have happened if I had continued to endure?
There may be people who blindly criticize and bring down, as in recent times, but I think it will be okay if there are many people who like it that much.
It’s been a wandering life, but the first place I went back to was the final destination.
“That’s why… I want to step on the red carpet with the director someday.”
I was young when I was younger, and I wanted to be at home with my family. However, if the opportunity arises again…
Lee Young-chang’s heart skipped a beat at Yoon-jae’s firm gaze. I was in a burnout for a while, but suddenly my motivation seemed to come back.
“Then I…”
I just want to make art for you.
In fact, after <Children>, he found his feelings and stepped into several international awards ceremonies. Aside from the unfortunate loss of the award, going back there was nothing new.
However, if it was the young man in front of me. We couldn’t do it then, but once again, this time together. Youngchang Lee raised an eyebrow.
“I want to do that too.”
[Official] Yoon J’s agency Astra “We will do our best to protect the artist”
Yoon Jae-yi, overcoming controversies in the past, ‘win and win’
– He’s really charming. My actor.
-Attachment company, please quickly sever my brain by overdoing it
– I got a little bit of a reaction, so I thought it was too much.
-Where do you think you worked? Otherwise, this cannot be
-Yoonjae is cold, isn’t he the age to enlist again?
└ Otherwise, he was born in 1991
└ American citizenship
└ You must have been there?
└Even
The Astra marketing team did their best to defend it, but once they caught the case, public opinion did not let go.
It was the actor himself who put this controversy to rest. Even the investment company that suddenly invested a large amount in <Along Along>… Lee Seo-won frowned.
‘Aren’t I ashamed to see Mr. Jay?’
Seo-Won Lee nervously turned off the screen of his phone and put it in his pocket.
The car Yunjay saw was Lee Seo-won’s car. Lee Seo-won, who entered a bar that was quite close to the two of them, entered the room. People who saw him were surprised, but welcomed him.
“Is this representative here?”
“Is the person who doesn’t come here finally here?”
“Oh, how have you been, CEOs?”
Lee Seo-won smiled kindly and received greetings from people in the same industry.
“I heard you’re raising a rookie after a long time? It’s been noisy lately.”
“Oh, what did I do? It’s all because that person lives hard.”
While saying that, he did not forget to glare at a specific person. Receiving that gaze, CEO Oh Seung-han, an entertainment agency, subtly avoided his gaze.
“I heard you made some money by selling the company?”
“Yes, what.”
“That, I also have a kid who pushes me these days… Can CEO Lee take care of me? What work are you looking at these days?”
The request is correct, but the attitude of asking is wrong. He does not let go of his pride while boasting that he is a senior in the industry.
Seo-Won Lee passed the words over. Anyway, that person’s leading actor will soon come to my company.
“no way. Help me out.”
“So, Mr. Lee. What genre are you into these days?”
Everyone is running a company that goes hand in hand, but the relationship was strange. Although Lee Seo-won’s career in the entertainment industry is shorter than those of them, it is because he has that much influence.
“Shall we smoke one?”
“President Lee doesn’t smoke? I’ll clear up for a bit.”
“yes. Bye.”
Seo-Won Lee waved his hand and quickly sent them away. And, I caught someone who was going out with me.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Oh.”
Representative Oh Seung-han was a little nervous when he saw Lee Seo-won, whose expression quickly changed. It seems that a glance alone can kill a person.
“Don’t touch my baby.”
“what?”
“You know I don’t know?”
“Huh, CEO Lee. Are you short?”
Does it bother you to just say a few words? Lee Seo-won twisted his mouth and laughed to the fullest.
“CEO Oh, have you ever thought about how I, who was neither a director nor an investor, came to this position in such a short period of time?”
“…”
Representative Oh Seung-han swallowed his saliva.
Lee Seo-won was a person who was curious about where he came from. A production company that suddenly appeared, an inexhaustible financial power from where it was invested, and selecting and producing only works that will be successful in the future as if they knew the future…
“Aren’t you curious about how I knew CEO Oh was making a mess?”
And how else would you know that? We tried to put an actor from our company in the role of Daegun Muhwi, which Yoon Jae-yi entered.
However, there were not one or two companies targeting Muhwi Dae-gun, and it was not difficult to feed the actors or the other party who were trying to go somewhere else with this kind of reverse viral, so I filtered out several companies and worked carefully.
“And aren’t you curious about what I know about CEO Oh and his company?”
“That, that’s…”
I thought I would never get caught, but how did you find it?
Besides, if it was this easy to find, what did I or my company buy… Oh Seung-han broke into a cold sweat.
“Is it troublesome if you keep doing this? Let’s play fair.”
“Kuh, kuh hmm.”
“Let’s compete with the work and the acting. huh?”
I’m confident. Lee Seo-won laughed meanly.
***
“So, Mr. Jay. What do you want to do next?”
“I want to experience different things. I think the special appearance you mentioned before will be fine.”
“Uh… that doesn’t matter anymore.”
It was to make his face known through a special appearance, but he doesn’t need the current YoonJ. Drama is all about viewer ratings, and I proved it with the best ratings and acting in recent years.
“It’s acting, too.”
“Hmm, okay. Then what else?”
“I want to do one more drama.”
I was able to stand in front of the camera relatively quickly, and I can see the reaction faster than in the movie. I want to train myself to become a character in a short period of time.
“I want to try variety shows when I get a chance. I want to raise more awareness.”
Of course, the help of Lee Seo-won or suspicious investors is good, but I want to become a person who can lead the ticket power myself.
However, Lee Seo-won took it differently. So, you’ve been beaten up in a lot of places lately, so you’re determined to become famous, right?
‘Oh, should I have beaten the CEO at all?’
I’ll have to make up for my mistake Lee Seo-won pressed his temple.
“Okay, I’ll make a plan. Are you leaving today? Have a good trip.”
“Yes, I will go.”
Yoon-jae goes to the airport for a reward vacation from <Along Along> after his busy schedule has passed.
But is it common for the CEO to come and take care of himself like this? I had some doubts, but it was a good thing, so I passed it on .
